Bringing people together through the arts. A non-profit second-hand bookshop and arts venue in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. Patron: Warren Ellis (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Dirty Three)

We have started opening at 10am on a Tuesday rather than 2pm – if we have more daytime lectures, that might change, but for now we will open all day on Tuesdays. That means we are now open Tuesday-Saturday, 10-5 – easier to remember! We are working on Monday opening…

There has been a major surge of practical support since the announcement that we were closing, and some of it is promising in terms of keeping the Tree House going. There are changes that I personally need to make if I am to carry on myself, so it’s all still in the balance, but the shop itself is doing OK and there are lots of ideas for things we could do. Some practical input into events (organisation and manual labour rather than performing!) would be great, but we are thinking of calling a meeting to see if there is anyone who would like to be involved in any way. Let me know if you’d be interested in knowing about the meeting! I’ll announce it here in any case.

Thank you so much to all who have expressed determination to see the venture continue – if I can find a way to make my own life sustainable it may be possible to carry on – I’m trying to believe in miracles!
